Titel in header.php

[b3n3]

header.php is the valid file showing the head of your page.
header.phpxxx is simply a replacement file, so that in case you modify the header.php you have the option to save the original(header.php) file and replace it for the replacement file (header.phpxxx).

dunno if i have explained.

Like Alejandro has explained, the header.phpxxx isn't actually being used. .phpxxx is not a valid php extension, so they've added the xxx in so it isn't used in the wordpress theme.

Looking at the code in header.php, your title tag is here:

<title><?php if( is_home() || is_front_page() ) bloginfo('name'); else wp_title(); ?></title>

This basically means:

If you're on the homepage or on the front page of the website, show the blog name (which is pulled from your wordpress settings). If not, show the wordpress title (this will be pulled from the name of the page which the user is on).

If you wanted to make it so the order of the title page is different, for example, if you wanted your title tag to show 'Page Title Here | Site Name', you could go into your wordpress settings and should be able to change the order in which this is done... Alternatively, download a plugin such as Yoast's SEO plugin and you'll be able to customise everything there!

Thank you very much Alejandro and Lewis. The reason why I was asking this with header is because I am receiving all this errors regarding the header in hostgator cpanel: So I guess I have screwed up something with header?

As regarding of the title tag, I am using yoast seo. So does that basicly mean that I have the name of the site behind every titles. Oh my god I do not want this:-( how can I disable it please?

Hi Iris,

It's hard to debug the problem without being able to see the issue, but it sounds like it's an incorrect file path. Open up your index.php file and find the following:

require('./wp-blog-header.php'); change it to this:

require('wp-blog-header.php');

Hopefully that will help fix your issue!

Thank you very much Lewis. Now I am not sure which index.php you mean:-( I have so many:-(

[PinpointDesigns]

It should just be the one inside the standard public_html folder as this is what is referenced in the PHP error (/home2/damian/public_html/index.php on line 17).

Hope this helps! Let us know how you get on.

[Rebeca1]

Thank you

[PinpointDesigns]

Glad it worked!

Yeah, you just need to make the same change to the following index.php file and that will solve that problem too:

public_html/villasdiani.com/wp-content/themes/decorum/index.php

That should get you all up and running.

[Rebeca1]

Thank you very much Lewis,

But here the index.php looks very different:-(

[PinpointDesigns]

Sorry, I copied the wrong file path. I meant this one:

public_html/villasdiani.com

[Rebeca1]

Thank you very much Lewis! I just did it exactly as you said. I appreciate your time very much. You know I was looking into this already 1week from morning till evening and was quite desperate. Normally this error was in error logs every day, so I will now monitor it in cpanel if it will not appear again. I hope I will never see it as was nearly ready on some medication

Thank you so much Lewis!

[PinpointDesigns]

No problem - Glad I was able to help.

Best of luck in the future!

Hallo Lewis,

I hope you had nice weekend:-)

Unfortunately the error still appeared:-( It just did not want the: require('./wp-blog-header.php')

But was looking for this one in the error require('wp-blog-header.php');

So I did all the steps back as I thought it did not sorted out:-(
